"You know, water usage is something that we have to use every day. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what we're going to talk about is how to save water, and cut down on water usage. There's many ways that we can save water, such as cut down on weekly fish tank cleanings, and change it to a monthly fish tank cleaning. Save any excess water, like when you're waiting for the bath water to turn warm for other purposes like fish tank, and for watering plant usage. You could also use a bowl of water to shave with, instead of using running tap water to rinse the razor. Also, a water saving shower head that has a switch toggle type device on it, where it can be turned off whenever you're shaving, and turned back on when it comes time to rinse. Another option would be to take something like a blue plastic barrel or garbage can under the downspout to capture rainwater. This rainwater can then be used to water plants. We can all do our part to cut down on water usage, as water has become a very expensive commodity across America. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see ya' next time."
